August 28, 2021
Anthill Farm is a name to know.
If you’re a fan of pure Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir from cult producers (like Kistler, Marcassin, Occidental, or Kosta Browne), this is your wine.
"The 2018 Pinot Noir Harmony Lane Vineyard is lush and inviting on the nose: aromas of rhubarb, boysenberry, crushed blackberries are accented by licorice and loads of potpourri-like nuances. The palate is wonderfully concentrated, vibrant and silky in texture with a kaleidoscopic array of tricolored berry fruits, citrus and flowers, and it finishes very long and nuanced. Such a gorgeous, elegant wine!" Wine Advocate
At 800 feet along California's Sonoma Coast, Harmony Ridge Vineyard is an exclusive 3-acre parcel at the edge of the marine layer; the fog laps the vineyard like a shoreline, creating a dynamic warm-and-cool microclimate and gives this wine its depth and layered flavors.
The "rich, unctuous fruit" is "nuanced and super-expressive." Vinous
It is the perfect red for autumnal cuisine and even the myriad of spices found at your Thanksgiving feast.
"Please pass the Pinot!" will be repeated over and over again!
Your turkey, stuffing, and cranberry just got better!
Enjoy!
